Reminder: You need the dongle and a PS4 controller to use it, meaning it's effectively drat near 100 dollars invested for the first month.

This is false. Any controller works fine, and there's a 7 day free trial. It's loving amazing. If you don't find PSNow on PC to be amazing well then you're probably very very hard to impress. You can play things like Ninja Gaiden Sigma and Tokyo Jungle on PC for the first time ever and people still bitch about it. Code Veronica X. Both Resident Evil Revelations games, and of course 4, 5 and 6 and Umbrella/Darkside Chronicles. Sly Cooper collection, most of the Ratchet and Clank series. Shadow of the loving Colossus. Every God of War game.

The site dicked with me then, it says it requires "a compatible DualShockŪ4 controller".

It's poor wording. What it means is the equivalent of a DualShock 4 controller. I think theres maybe 1 or 2 games that have motion controls that you wouldn't be able to utilize, but other than that a 360 controller works just fine. You will of course have Playstation button prompts

We're talking about the company that would make 10 million dollars if they just released untouched ROMs of their Pokemon collection onto the App Store, but they just don't do it because I guess nobody over there thought of it yet? I'm not really sure. It's guaranteed money. Also whoever thought of friend codes should be shot.

Source your quotes

You're right, people haven't been asking for a Pokemon game on a cell phone since the birth of mobile gaming. They just download ROMs and install emulators for no reason. Nobody actually wants to play a Pokemon game on their cell phone, that's just insanity. I mean, nobody bought all those Final Fantasy games that got ported.

It's the most obvious business strategy of all time. Even Disney is starting to realize they can't make money off of new poo poo (or rather, there is an inherent risk involved with new stuff), so let's remaster and re-release some old poo poo. When Nintendo makes new poo poo we get Metroid Prime Federation.

I'm surprised I need to point this out, but people being upset at Federation Force also has a lot to do with the fact that in an alternate reality we all got Metroid Prime 4. Which is the game everyone actually wanted. The same thing is going on with Metal Gear right now.

To me it felt like an early draft of the original Metroid Prime that got scrapped. Everything's smaller. Everything's uglier. The entire time I couldn't help but imagine what an actually full featured Metroid Prime game would be like.

It's not like Federation Force was instead of a regular Prime game, dude.

Poor reception and low sales of a Metroid game could prevent future Metroid games from being made. Can we at least agree on that? Upon launch in Japan, it sold a little over 4000 copies the entire first week.

People being mad at Federation Force not letting you be Samus is the same as when people were mad at MGS2 not letting you be Snake past the demo stage. People want to be the beloved main characters.

Nobody mentioned Samus. Samus is a blank-slate character who never talks so it doesn't even matter. People are mad at Federation Force because it is objectively worse than the 3 other games called Metroid Prime. This is not a controversial opinion.

b-but it's not a REAL metroid game, even though it's a first party metroid game titled Metroid Prime! It's been nine years since the last (good) metroid game, didn't you know? We DESERVE a REAL metroid game! I don't care that Federation Force has been in development since the DSiWare days, it's been nine years!

This is supposed to be sarcastic right? The only way someone could possibly hold this opinion is if they never played Metroid Prime 1-3. It's like a bazillion-jillion times better than Federation Force, in every way a game can be better. I don't give it a free pass just because it's on a hand-held, maybe they shouldn't have tried to make a first person shooter on the 3DS. People get upset when sequels don't live up to the predecessors. This has been happening since the dawn of sequels. It's not gamers being big babies, it's possessing the smallest amount of observational skills and then asking, "What gives?"

It's really a shame Diddy Kong Racing will never be rereleased on anything.

It's doubly a shame that Diddy Kong Racing DS is an abomination that sucks for reasons not relating whatsoever to removing Microsoft's property. I could see a future in which Diddy Kong Racing DS gets released on the VC, but it's horrible.

EDIT: by the way, I never played the Banjo GBA game, but I hear that's actually pretty solid.

What was the issue with Diddy King Racing DS? I've only played the original, and loved it. The music in particular was amazing. I found myself humming along to every single track. It was better than Mario Kart 64 which is some pretty high praise because Mario Kart 64 was always my favorite Mario Kart.

Why do I always get the feeling that Nintendo is somehow working inside of a vacuum? They don't seem to notice anything about the market or market trends. This was fine when it was back in the day when they were creating market trends, but now it's just getting sad. These are the guys that basically invented the modern analog stick, before that it was D-Pads all the way down. Fuckin' shoulder buttons, eat poo poo Sega Genesis. A start button AND a select button?! What madness is this?
